• What is a turnkey solution and how can you be benefitted from it?

  For our Clients who need immediate corporate solutions, Healy Consultants Group offers fast turnkey solution of purchasing shelf company with bank account. This is a ready-made company with an already open corporate bank account with e-banking;

  Prior Clients have acquired a shelf company in Dubai for several purposes such as i) wanting a company registration number fast to close an important deal; ii) needing a vintage active company with past history, to help receive corporate finance and iii) to receive sales income immediately from an already set up company and corporate bank account;

  The entire company setup process for a limited liability company in Dubai takes roughly 15 weeks. However, with a Dubai turnkey solution, within 3 weeks Healy Consultants will email you a company number and a corporate bank account number that you can immediately use to sign business contracts. Our Clients can expect to reduce the engagement lead time by 70%.

  While possible, Healy Consultants Group does not recommend using the bank account to receive payment from your Clients until you are appointed as sole bank signatory, in approximately 2 months. Unfortunately, the Dubai Government has implemented inefficient procedures that can be bypassed with a turnkey solution.

  Initially, the name of the already approved corporate bank account is that of the existing ready-made company. Once the company is purchased, Healy Consultants Group will change i) the company name and ii) business activity to that preferred by our Client. Healy Consultants Group will also appoint our Client as sole director and shareholder of the company.
